Poor baby...

Look, you can't simultaneously tell some guy what he should have
done, then complain when he actually did it. A tiny bit of
consistency would seem appropriate here.

Comsistancy is the hobgobblin of little minds.
I didn't get to where I am today by being consistant.
.... But then, where am I? ;-)

Would a tiny bit of consistency be appropriate for a bull****ter who
bloviates about minute details of his life on a public blog, but claims
that presenting his ID to an airport checker is an identity theft risk?

Which of course if pointless the addressing and confronting

How does refusing to submit to airport ID checks and harassing ID
checkers address and confront either abuse or fraud?

However, as with any federal officer, one should be able to ask
them to identify themselves and be told under what color of authority
they operate.

Which federal officers refused to identify themselves to the
``hasbrouck'' and tell him under what color of authority they operate?

Asking for someone to identify themselves and the basis for their
authority is not "refusing to comply with the security procedures"

If refusing to submit to an ID check, challenging the checker and
attempting to move through an airport checkpoint without presenting
an ID is not refusing to comply with the security procedures, what
would be an example of refusing to comply with the security procedures?

If you refuse to be carded at a liquor store, make a
scene and the cashier calls the cops on you, he is not exercising the
authority of the police department.

He would be if you were ultimately charged with "interfering with
a federal officer" because of what you said to the cashier.

Was ``hasbrouck'' ultimately charged with interfering with a federal
officer because of what he said to the ID checker?

Asking the TSA has been a futile action for the last few years.

Has refusing to comply with airport ID checks and harassing ID checkers

However, they are not allowed to presume someone is suspicious
merely because they ask the cop for ID.

When are they allowed to presume someone is suspicious if they are not
allowed to do so when an aggressive crazy demands ``Why? Who do you work
for? Am I required to open my passport for unidentified strangers?''

Since ``wait here, somebody will answer your questions'' does not
imply that the questioner is not allowed to leave, the point is moot.

"Where do you think you're going" however, which I believe was
the quote (or "What do you think you're doing" possibly).

Did the TSA employee say this when the ``hasbrouck'' attempted to
withdraw from the checkpoint area, or when the ``hasbrouck'' attempted
to go through the checkpoint without presenting his ID?

So, how does questioning the ID checker help with abuse and fraud?


Determining that he is either abusing his authority, or acting
fraudulently.

He has the authority to let you pass if you have the proper
documentation. If you don't have proper documentation, the he checks
with a supervisor. If you are acting weird, then he let's TSA know.
What "authority" would he be abusing?


He isn't there for you to question.
He is there to check your ID and BP.


And asking question is how you determine that this is why the
person standing in front of you in a cheap uniform is the correct
person duly authorized.


Did the "reporter" suspect that he wasn't? How does asking the question
confirm he is authorized? Would a criminal be prevented from lying?
The person was at the entrance to the security checkpoint. Do you think
someone is going to sneak into this checkpoint and start recording your
personal information?
